He took more than the usual number of photos per subject; he stood next to and fraternized with DOE staff for the event. This photographer (wearing no press tag) pointed the camera towards the crowd. Given that there is very little press coverage at these hearings, and that it is rare when the press run photographs, I am suspicious: is this someone that is working for the DOE? I saw the same individual, overzealously shooting photos of speakers and audience members last night at the Brooklyn PEP meeting. Given that the police were doing surveillance work against protesters at Bloomberg's residence, I am suspicious for added reasons that the city is building a dossier of protesters. <i>Can we say chilling effect?</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2586988941850907367.post-24169622388835270332010-01-25T14:03:41.121-05:002010-01-25T14:03:41.121-05:00Not surprised that the UFT did not mention anythin...Not surprised that the UFT did not mention anything about this disgusting reaction.<br /> This is the same UFT that kept quiet when the mayor ran for his illegal 3rd term.<br /> Unity Caucus should have been led into retirement years ago. The same cast of characters win each election.<br /> Recently, with the stock market showing improvement, the 8 1/4% on fixed returns is being lowered to 7%.

I just got the latest UFT Chapter Leader update e-mail from the UFT this morning. Any mention?? Nope not a one. I'm sure no mention in the NYTeacher UFT newspaper either. I applaud every person that showed up. Thank you for fighting the fight that needs fighting.<br /><br />Unitymustgo!<br /><br />Eternomustwin!Unitymustgo!noreply@blogger.com
